Μια σύντομη γνωριμία με το ανανεωμένο look and feel στο UI by Samsung.
Μια πρώιμη γεύση στο τι θα ακολουθήσει στο κοντινό μέλλον αφού τελειοποιηθεί περισσότερο.

Samsung’s advanced Galaxy S7 UI is an intriguing glimpse of what TouchWiz could be
Is Good Lock any good?
One of the strangest things about Good Lock is that in some places it is very well done and polished, while in others it is inconsistent and feels a little unfinished. To give you some examples:
•There’s a nice animation when you swipe down on the recent app list
•In the notifications shade both the settings icons and search icon spin when you long-press them (but there’s no System UI Tuner I could find)
•When Routines are toggled there’s a colorful transition through the colors of the rainbow in the app bar and status bar
•The Keep tab jiggles in the notification shade to remind you you’ve added something to it
•There’s quick access to battery stats from the Quick Settings
These are the nice parts of Good Lock, the parts where it feels like a finished product. But for every one of these there’s another part that seems oddly unfinished or inconsistent:
•Scrollable widgets don’t work on the lock screen
•Inconsistency with the multi-window button in recent apps and the app tray
•Swiping right on the lock screen dismisses a notification, but in the notifications shade (or expanded view of the lock screen) it moves it to Keep
•There’s one fewer Quick Settings toggles in the lock screen version compared to the unlocked version
•Only one of the Quick Settings toggles can be hidden
Furthermore, not all changes made in the main settings menu are reflected in Good Lock while others are. For example, if you go to your main lock screen settings you can change your lock screen app shortcuts. However, you won’t see those apps because the Good Lock app shortcuts override them via the Good Lock settings. However, if you block a notification from Good Lock it will also be blocked in the main notifications settings. This is unnecessarily confusing.
Wrap up
Considering these kinds of imperfections, inconsistencies and duplications, it’s difficult to say whether Good Lock is a random unfinished UI experiment that for whatever reason found new life as a Galaxy App, or that Good Lock is actually a prototype Samsung UI in testing. It doesn’t appear in Galaxy Labs yet, but it might in future.
Either way it is a fun, refreshing and interesting twist on Samsung’s interface; one that takes a little getting used to, to be sure, but one that definitely has potential. It offers an alternate vision of what TouchWiz – or whatever comes after TouchWiz – could be. Some will find it unnecessarily confusing while others will greatly appreciate Good Lock’s mission of making a locked phone as functional as it has ever been.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) review: The slab of beautifully crafted tricks
http://www.neowin.net/news/samsung-...review-the-slab-of-beautifully-crafted-tricks
Conclusion
Not only is the S7 Edge a beautiful device to look at, it is also beautiful to use with features and performance to match. It is everything the Galaxy S6 should have been and then some.
That's not to say it doesn't have its annoyances, because there are a few. But those annoyances are all software based and Samsung can easily fix those with updates.
What more could be asked for? It's a waterproof smartphone with a large battery, fast charging both wired and wireless, a superb qHD AMOLED display with expandable storage and all in a shell that will continue to look modern years down the line.
The camera deserves high praise. The new dual pixel autofocus technology has been licensed from Canon. Focus speed is very fast and accurate in all conditions. Anyone who has used the Xperia Z5 camera will know how good the AF system is. The S7 does it better and faster still.
The implementation all of these things coming together to provide the overall user experience appears to have been well thought out.
Even though my first choice is Android, I have always admired the craftsmanship Apple put into their devices. Aside from the iPhone C, they are mostly slabs of metal and glass that ooze quality and heft. And now I have that same feeling on an Android device that I don't feel I need to root to get the best out of any more.
